That not everyone has seen that is the reason I included it in the Daily Briefing on the Friday before Veterans Day. Where can you find it in the regulation? The last two sentences in comment 2(a)(6)-2. There are four federal holidays to which it applies. They are all designated as specific dates in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a) -- January 1, July 4, November 11 and December 25. The other six federal holidays all fall on specified weekdays (Mondays for MLK, Jr. Birthday, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day; Thursday for Thanksgiving Day) and not on fixed dates.
This issue will come up again next in 2020, when July 4 is a Saturday. After that it happens frequently in 2021 and 2022. In 2021, July 4 is Sunday and Christmas is on Saturday. In 2022, of course, January 1 will be a Saturday, and Christmas will be a Sunday.
